It is proposed to consider five elements of risk culture, such as identification, assessment, levels of risk management system development (the third, the prioritization, and others [3], [4], [5], [6], risk management as fourth and the fifth levels are typical for international a basis for ensuring economic security [2], [3]. But it should corporations). We present the results of the risk management be noted that the complexity and mutual influence of systems analysis for international corporations, namely: processes and procedures of risk management requires the RusHydro, NLMK, Severstal, Gazprom Neft, Metalloinvest, use of a systematic approach that allows taking into account Philips, Nestlé, Unilever, and others. Criteria for comparative all the factors and elements that influence the productivity characteristics of systems implementation experience are the and efficiency of the RMS. The purpose of this research is to following: the role in the organization management, basic standards, risk coverage, features of risk assessment and determine the parameters, levels and directions of the RMS management, frequency and content of improvement measures, development of modern organizations. etc. Based on the study results, the main directions of II. METHODS development of risk management systems are considered. The following methods were used in the study: Keywords—risk management system, types of risks, risk situational, factor analysis, object-oriented modeling of the management. situation. So, to determine the methodological aspects of the RMS analysis, at first it is necessary to consider the essence I. INTRODUCTION of this economic definition based on the situational analysis. The high level of uncertainty and buoyancy of external Currently, there are three options for the definition of the environment are the main characteristics of the modern RMS proposed by the organizations. In the first case, the economic reality of international corporations. This drives RMS is considered as a combination of individual elements the increase in the degree of negative risk impacts, which, such as the organizational structure, procedures, control and among the other things, include: risks of violation/non- management, and others (RusHydro, FGC UES, etc.). In fulfillment of contractual obligations, business practice, the second option is more widespread, in which the transformation, reduction in demand for products, decreasing RMS is a combination of methodology, methods, procedures, the organization competitiveness, climate change, lack of business processes, participants and individual functions, resources, etc. Significant amounts of financial and other policies, tools and activities aimed at effective risk types of resources, large scale activities, wide range of the management of an organization (Aeroflot, Tatneft, Russian territorial and sectorial development directions of Railways, etc.). The third option is common for foreign international companies determine the existence of risks of companies, while the operation of the RMS is primarily critical and global impact, and as a result, the likelihood of associated with the formation of a certain risk management significant losses [4, p. 2]. Therefore, for several decades, culture within the organization (Coca-Cola HBC AG, risk management is one of the key functions of the Volkswagen AG, BASF SE, Johnson & Johnson and others). international corporation management. It is proposed to take into account the existing definitions of the concept and consider the RMS as a set of individual Despite the fact that the implementation of risk elements and subsystems necessary for the implementation of management systems (RMS) in modern corporations is risk management processes and procedures in order to create carried out on the basis of generally accepted international a risk management culture and ensure the effectiveness of the standards (FERMA, ERM COSO, etc.), in practice there is organization activities, including that by overcoming the no uniform, universal risk management system template and economic growth barriers. To determine the level of the each of the organizations applies its own variant. Among the RMS development, it is recommended to consider the The present study was conducted with support from the Yugra State following parameters of the risk culture of the organization: University (Khanty-Mansiysk Town, Russia) and Khanty-Mansiysk Town Administration (a municipal entity of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous District – the role and place of the RMS in the structure of the Yugra urban district Khanty-Mansiysk Town). organization management; basic standards of the RMS; the Copyright © 2019, the Authors.
